This module is the first in a new generation of smart microcontroller-based, integrated and low cost generating set controllers. It features enhanced automatic starting and stopping, protection of both engine and generator in addition to instrumentation. A four-position selector provides multiple operating modes: OFF/RESET, AUTO, RUN and TEST. Front panel leds signal the genset status in addition to the faults. The instrumentation interface consists of six 7-segments led displays, size 0.4” and is used to display the currents on the three phases, the voltage, the active power and the frequency simultaneously. The fifth display is multifunction and is used to display the active power in KW, the hour meter, the oil pressure, the engine temperature, the genset status, the battery voltage and the fault log. Three front panel push buttons are provided to select the voltage, to access a menu of parameters, to view the last fault with its correspondent readings and to switch between measured values to be displayed on the multifunction display. The menu gives access to all timers, set points and other parameters relevant to the control and protection of the genset. This module can be remotely monitored via connection to Ethernet, a line modem or a GSM modem.
